What does “insquequo omnis exulatus fuissent” translate to?

Gotnoname – no, I needed it to make sense. LOL. I discovered THAT already.

Roughly, “Till all males that exist be banished”.
The web site that I received this from breaks out every phrase as a dictionary entry, so it would not actually translate on to English grammar constructs.

Dum clauses, reffered to by one other person, are a kind of subjunctive clause. dum can imply “whereas” however when used as a subjunctive, which is like an summary thought or idea- like saying “let the lady go play” as a substitute of “the lady goes to play”. it hasn’t occurred but, however it’s being proposed within the sentence.
“Ecce” makes use of dum for “whereas” within the first chapter “Dum Cornelia leget, Flavia scribet”. However relying on the dum clause, it could actually imply any variety of issues (in Proviso clauses when used with a subjunctive it introduces the sentence as “dummodo” and is translated as “supplied that” or “as long as”).
Dum can even imply “when” and when it’s in a subjunctive clause (as I defined earlier) it turns into an summary thought, so “when” turns into an ambiguous “till”- the type of the phrase “when” that suggests that it is not occurring however is within the summary.
This in all probability made issues extra complicated, however possibly you will perceive a bit of higher?
EDIT:
“In and the place (Till) all had been banned”
That is what it kind of interprets to. I nonetheless assume “omnis” ought to be “omnes”- within the accusative plural making it a direct object, or “omnem” if singular- however they may have been desirous to say this sooner or later good sense “could have been banned” however since it’s basically a “dum” clause which requires a subjunctive they needed to make one thing up (Latin would not have a future type of the subjunctive) so they’re right in utilizing “exulatus fuissent” I consider, if they modify it to “exulati fuissent” or “exulatus fuisset”.
I’ve modified my thoughts about this so typically… sorry.

The Latin is garden-variety web translationese.
Insquequo is Medieval Latin. For a extra Historical-style inscription they need to have used “Dum”
Omnis is singular, but it surely would not agree with the verb fuissent. You both have to vary it to the plural Omnes or make the verb singular -> fuisset
Exulatus (or Exsulatus) is the 4th precept a part of Exsulo, which implies to be dwelling in exile. Utilizing the development passively as it’s right here is Late Latin- a greater option to translate to banish could be the verb Expello.
Fuissent is the pluperfect subjunctive of the verb “to be”, however given the development of this phrase, the right tense of the verb ought to be good -> sint
In order Latin Grammar Nazi I’d counsel the next correction:
DUM OMNES EXPULSI SINT
“‘Til All Are Banned”
Replace: @keinsignal, Dum means both “whereas”/”so long as” or “till”, relying on the grammatical development by which the phrase seems.
There is a very good worksheet accessible right here that outlines the completely different attainable usages- I’ve added it to my sources under.

@fooflunz – are you certain about “dum” as a substitute of “insquequo”? I am a couple of a long time out of Latin class however “dum” normally interprets nearer to “whereas” or “so long as”, as in “oderint dum metuant” (“allow them to hate as long as they concern”) or “dum mortis supplicium” (“whereas he was struggling demise”).
